Odd. Generally people learn it by experience.

1. Go to a side of the bike (right/left).
2. Hold the grab rail and handle bar firmly (Eg. left hand on the handle bar and right hand on the grab rail)
3. Rest your foot on the center stand and with your body force, pull the the grab rail behind and the handle bar backwards together.

I do hope you have enough strength to do it. Practice will make it perfect.

Well, the above is the science of it. Experience is no substitute for theory. Keep trying!

By the way i ride in bangalore and these figures are of city riding conditions.

How much do u guys get in city? I guess 35 without ripping is a bit less right?

mostly 40- 43 kmpl in city and 45 - 47 kmpl on highwyz...........i never experienced touching 50kmpl even though i drive really very carefully on highwyz.

Thanx bro.. It worked.

What I missed earlier was applying body weight on to the stand. Now its just so easy.

I don't know if I make you laugh, but I have to ask this.

Can someone describe how to put a bike on center stand..?

As of now, I need someone to pull from behind.

Saw some videos on YouTube, but not working for me..

I still don't get how people do it with one hand on handle and one on grab rail.

I do it pretty OK now but both hands on handle and a gentle push backwards that's it.

Im expecting at least 40! But till now ive never got it!!!
I wanted to buy Apache 180 but cos of mileage, i chose a 150cc bike! Everythin else is good in hunk and i thought mileage also would be great but this thing is worse than a 180 cc bike mileage wise! If someone's getting a good mileage, pls let me know how u get it!

thanx

If u r still finding it difficult to do it, u r doing the most common mistake in putting the bike in main stand.
I.e let both the sides (rods) of the main stand touch the ground. If one is touching and one's slightly in air, its gonna be tough to put.

Hunk is a heavy bike, try it with a lighter bike like splendor or passion for practice

Cheers

Try pulling the saree guard,i think its more easier than grabrails.

Hero Honda CBZ Extreme

The Beginning:
In Year 2002 I ask my parents to purchase me a bike.
That time the obvious choice was Hero Honda Splendor.
So the search started and I with my cousin took the test ride of various other 100cc bikes available in that era.
Somehow I got more convinced with the drivability on power output of Kawasaki Bajaj BOXER AR and soon got one in black and red color combo for around Rs.36000 on road price jaipur.
I completed 34k kms in this time and sold it for Rs.12000.
This bike servered me well till 2007 till I got my Hands on HERO HONDA GLAMOUR.
Ownership experience of Hero Honda Glamour convinced Honda engineering is really a masterpiece. I am really impressed by the engine smoothness and dirt cheap maintaince.
But in mid 2009 I started feeling like I am driving a decade old bike whenever I see any new bike bike broad tyres and digital console.
So from here now a hunt for new bike started but Again from the fear of increasing fuel priced I finiallied the Honda Stunner.
Somehow I was happy with this bike but somewhere in my heart I always like the digital console available in new bike these days.

Now the question was-which bike should I sale-Hero Honda Glamour (2007 make; 24000 kms done) or the Honda Stunner (2009 make-4500 kms done).
And the Axe was dropped on Honda stunner as I was getting better price when compared to Hero Honda Glamour and I dint wasted a single second to sign the sale letter for Rs 35000.
The Hunt for the new Bike-
After driving the HH Glamour for than 3 years I was happy for the quality the Hero Honda brand offers. So I was more inclined towards the HH brand.
After taking the test ride of other 150cc option in market I find the cbz more re-freshing and better. Only second to Honda Dazzler. But I never liked the twister like styling of dazzler which made me purchase The CBZ 2011 model.

The Judgment Day:
Now the final take was between HH Cbz 2011 and HH hunk 2011. And the cbz 2011 won the battle there after.

Initial Ownership review:

Rear disk brakes are not so crip as the front disk brakes( sometime I feel normal brake are better than rear disk)
Bike is really a gem to drive in corners. Superb handling!
Drove around 75kms on day 1 and planning to change the engine oil after another 75 kms, i.e. 150 kms.
Rear and side styling is way better than the front looks. But the digital console is the best available in the lot.
Gear changing is heavy when compared to unicorn.
1ST And 2nd gears are short but other 3 are balanced.
No Accerories like seat covers are available as of it now!
And at last- THANKS FOR READING ME FOR SO LONG!
